Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary
God, who by his providence gives and maintains life, by his law protects it. A wilful murderer shall be taken even from God’s altar. But God provided cities of refuge to protect those whose unhappiness it was, and not their fault, to cause the death of another; for such as by accident, when a man is doing a lawful act, without intent of hurt, happens to kill another.
